Positive indicators of global economic development boosted the outlook for energy consumption on Monday. Simultaneously Saudi Arabia's state-owned producer Aramco upped the official selling price for its petroleum, according to Reuters.

After falling over 2% last week, Brent crude's price was up 91 cents, or 1.1%, at $83.65 a barrel at 10:28 GMT. On the other hand, after falling over 3% through Friday, US oil rose $1.13, or 1.39%, to $82.40.

President Biden hailed the adoption of a long-delayed $1 trillion infrastructure bill by Congress on Saturday, saying it could increase GDP and fuel demand.

Oil Prices on the Rise after OPEC+ Refused a US Call to Boost Production

On November 5, oil prices had risen more than 1%, to compensate for some price losses after OPEC+ rejected an American call to increase supplies to cool the market.

On November 4, the OPEC+ group of major producers agreed to continue to their plan to increase oil supply by 400,000 barrels per day (BPD) from December, despite calls from US President Joe Biden for more output to calm surging prices.

Saudi Arabia, the top OPEC producer, ignored requests from the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and allies, including Russia, for faster increases, citing economic headwinds.
